More referrer log malarkey

Way back when, I listed my favourite top ten phrases that people search for to find my site. Now thanks to the wonders of MeasureMap, it’s time for ten more.

Search strings are a particular favourite, an insight into some of the (usually warped) ways that people find this little site of mine. So, if you’ve got a site and if you’ve got some stats, let me know some of the weirdest/funniest/down-right strange things that people search for to find your site.

Post them here or write them on your blog and post a link back here.

Here is my new top ten favourites for And All That Malarkey.

Confused? I still am ;)

Let’s have yours!

    I wonder what such a person’s reaction would be when visiting here..

    "Where are my undies! Google told me you got undies! Gimme my trendy undies :-("

    Very confused. I shall take a look in mine..

    I’m amazed that with one short blog post, I’m now second in the google rankings for the intriguing combination of words ’moo flex’.

    With a bit more work, it’d be great to be top for just plain ’moo’.

    gimme gimme gimme costumes
    christmas present monkey

    I haven’t decided if the last one is a monkey for a christmas present or christmas presents for monkeys. Either way, I am sad that the results show my site rather than actual monkeys.

    "Hiccups give me an erection"

    I’m not sure if that person was looking for a solution, or simply boasting, but I hope that whatever it was, he found it. Disappointingly, I used to be the #1 result in Google for that query but now I’m just #2.

  10. #10 On December 16, 2005 02:24 PM Daniel Oliver said:

    Some of my best ones were -

    neurotic disorder
    dan i am not trying to do that
    dan i should be getting my soon
    england football ass
    i only have arrived this morning
    html gubbins
    dan so
    dan you haven t

    Now I really don’t understand what some people were expecting to achieve from these search terms? I laugh every time I picture someone sat at home typing these words of wisdom into google and expecting to find something of any use?

    @ Colly: Interesting, seeing how action men and weebles are all genitalialy challenged!

    Great fun, keep ’em coming!

    I don’t get nearly the traffic (or have nearly as many posts), but here’s a few interesting ones (in no particular order):

    I went through all of my past referrer logs and came up with a bunch of good ones. I put them over on my site so I wouldn’t take up a lot of space here. A little hard to read ’em ’cause I couldn’t think about making it pretty this morning. For a quick look, here are my favorite twelve:

    taking adderall anally
    small drug purple passed around
    hate ace frehley
    how to hide thumbs
    i like me i think i m fine
    squirrel armpit
    butt scooching dog why is my worms
    groin productions
    my story of hantavirus
    licking toner
    hygeine penis holder
    target dog bullseye 7 beanie

    You really start to wonder what you’ve been writing about after a bit.

    There are other weird ones, but they just can’t compare. :)

    I’ve got some really odd ones onto my little site - and I’ve been documenting them now and again: https://wintermute.com.au/?bits=search

    Anyway, this post got me digging in the logs to find some more strange ones - the following things can’t be found on my site:

    the jedi order europe
    anchorage history mural
    welsh morality
    charlie and the chocolate factory slash
    benicio in three way
    medieval photos of people

    the "medieval photos" line is definitely one of my favourites… as is one that found me recently: ’geekiest people’ -- how’s that for an honorific?

    Hey, I just found out that I’m the number one Google result for ’What the fuck are hiccups’.

    Perhaps I should work on making Joeblade the hiccup-capital of the internet…

    Sadly, I don’t have a donkey for sale, but I posted about an ad for a concrete donkey https://www.brucelawson.co.uk/index.php/2005/concrete-donkey-for-sale/ .

    Neither, I may as well add now to clear up any confusion, do I have a sexy hijab, pierced penis or imaginary friend. I do however fess up to being a wanker.
